A great all round little car
Lovely to drive, reliable, low in cost to run, and easy to park. I receive a lot of compliments because mine is bright yellow. It is a bit of a challenge when you carry passengers as there is not a lot of legroom in the back for tall people, however there is a decent amount of headroom. If you are looking for something with a cavernous boot then the swift is not for you, however the back seats do fold down. Mine came with sat nav, bluetooth, keyless entry and drive, cruise control, and voice control etc. A fun little car with all the bells and whistles.

Good car
I find it is a good car but misses out on a few things that would make it even better. Such as, Bluetooth, Aux point, cruise control etc.
It is cheap on fuel to run. But doesn't take off as quick as i would like. Tends to need a good acceleration to even take off

Super fun...like a go-kart!
Had my Swift for 12 years now...this car is my favourite of all the cars I've owned. It's reliable, safe, economical and the little go-kart like Swift, in auto, makes this car so much fun to drive! Highly recommend the Swift, and by the sheer volume of MK5 series still on the road, you know they're mechanically on point.

Awesome little everyday car
Great performance and handling. Very comfortable and really easy to drive. Very economical. Great for around town and especially good for long trips. We can travel 800 km on one tank of fuel - outstanding!! We use our beautiful little Swift for everyday use and it's brilliant. Awesome little car!

Best car, love my Swift
Got my Swift GLX Navigator in 2015, have had zero problems with it. My swift is zippy in traffic, I can keep up easily on freeways. It has good acceleration for a small car. So easy to park. Love the Nav system, although it is hard to upgrade to newer versions. Fuel economy is fantastic, I fill up once a week and drive to and from work everyday up and down steep, winding roads.

Excellent small car and great fuel economy
Great package offered from the dealer, good warranty, fixed price servicing offering no surprises for a period of five years, extended warranty offered with the service package for extra peace of mind.
The car is very reliable handles on road very well, good fuel economy around city driving, struggling for power on the freeway, no such problems in the suburbia.

A great, reliable everyday runabout with lots of boot/backseat space!
Put 70,000km on ours with my wife in the last ~4-5 years. Parts are cheap, the car runs very reliably. My only gripes would be a lack of options (although that's pretty much always the case with the budget hatches) and the fuel economy (we average 7 L/100km, which I feel could be a little lower given the 1.5L engine).
Other than that it's great. We've taken it on light 4WD tracks (by accident!), long trips (~700km), and city driving. We've done highways, freeways, laneways, streets, dirt tracks, and everything in between, and it's never missed...Read more

Love love love this car
I have owned a lot of cars in almost 50 years of driving and this is my favourite. Nimble, sporty handling, 600km+ to a 40L tank, comfortable for a 180cm man even with low profile tyres and lowered springs. The Swift is a little gem and I will be sad to trade it on a 4wd at the end of this year but about the only thing it won't do is tow a caravan. 15000km service intervals make it even more economical.

2013 Suzuki Swift - Great
Purchased new in November 2013 as I no longer needed a large car. I have never been disappointed with this car and would not hesitate to recommend. So much so, that I have considered replacing this car with the newest model, however that is a hard ask as I have a love of this car Reliability has never been in question. The car drives extremely well and now that I have a decent set of tyres (Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin AD003) the handling is exceptional. The car is covered by capped price servicing for 5 years so I know how much it is going to cost for each 6 month service. Running on standard unleaded fuel consumption averages around 6 litres per 100klm, so very happy.

2010 Suzuki Swift.
I have the RE4 model and I only like sporty RE4 in swift range 2010 and above as it has proximity key option, key less start and side mirrors.
There are lots of small cars around and very competitive.
I found this a best choice compered to my previous Ford Falcon FG LPG and Ford Focus.
Its a Go car, & this is what I was looking for. you wont find these cheaper because swift is iconic brand like corolla.

It does the job - barely
Bought it brand new few months ago.
Pros:
economy, reliable
steering is great
Cons:
Suspension is bouncey.. driveways are an effort, speedbumps again need to be very very careful to not scrape.
seats are uncomfortable, front armrests are like a rock.. terrible for longer than a short drive to work
auto is almost always in wrong gear
airconditioning is forever clicking on and off when on the lowest setting

I love my little car
Purchased my white auto swift a few weeks ago from a Suzuki dealer as a demo model & I am in love! Being a demo it was a great price for a brand new car. It drives so effortlessly and is really quiet. I was driving a Honda CR-V before I purchased my swift, and I now enjoy driving so much and don't have to worry about petrol - used 1/4 of a tank in a week ($40 to fill tank), while driving the CR-V I would go through a full tank in a week ($60 to fill tank). I was worried about how it would cope going up the hills and on the freeway but it performs even better than my old CR-V - zippy with a lot of guts. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Great little car
We bought the Swift Sport, what a great little car, so responsive, very comfortable and easy to get around especially in the city, although it doesn't have some of the flash items that others have such as reverse camera, it is small enough and has good vision that it's not needed. running costs are very low, it runs on an oily rag.

Pocket rocket
Hello from Malaysia! Been driving a yellow Swift Sport with a manual transmission for a year. Here's my take.
Pros:
1. Think Ford Focus Trend with beefier steering and a higher redline. The performance and handling is a given, as long as you keep the engine revving above 3000rpm if you wanna drive spiritedly.
2. You get 500km of suburban driving from a full tank of RON 98 irrespective of your driving style. That's an average of 7.5l/100km. And my car gets 25 km more on RON 95.
3. As a Japanese car which shares many common parts with t...Read more

Excellent Car. Swift GL Nigator
This car is very enjoyable to drive, great fuel economy, looks great. Great value with gps, voice recognition, ipod connectivity cd player, reverse camera and radio. Haven't had any issues apart from faulty airbag which was fixed under warranty. Handles and goes well, engine is on the quiet side but sounds great at high revs. It is a Japanese car which is actually made in Japan unlike mazda 2 which is mad in thailand and i20 made in india. Toyota yaris is made in japan but looks ugly and not as interesting as the swift

Love the Car very very disappointed with updating the Garmin Maps
I need to be able to have updated Garmin maps... impossible. I have asked my dealer at Chullora and they tell me they cannot update the maps I am more than happy to pay to have this done... very frustrating. Surely the dealership should be able to do this for their customers.

Questions & Answers
Riannen F.asked
Hi all, a few things regarding the 2012 suzuki swift 5 door automatic hatchback. In the last year or so when starting my car it idles which is understandable however when in reverse and reversing back my car seems to stall/misfire this also happens when i put it in drive and go to take off i notice the car is delayed in acceleration any idea as to what this could be???, this also happens when ive been driving and i stop at a set of lights or exiting a shopping centre i put my foot on the excelerator however the car dosent move straight away its like it takes 5-10 seconds to process could this be a problem with the battery, spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel filter, air filter??? its really got me curious, can someone please tell me what you might think it is. Ive taken it to the mechanics and explained the misfire and stalling however they’ve come back to me with thousands of dollars worth of problems and no reason at all as to why theres a misfire, stalling, sluggishness ect.
Thanks in advance

what size socket do i need for a suzuki swift sport 1.6 2010 to remove cylinder head?
1 answer
If is a M16 engine you'll need a 12 corner socket wrench.Find yourself a cheap service manual on CD as the bolts need to be removed and installed in a certain order across the length of engine to avoid damage to head.

I connected my wife’s mob to the our car’s wifi, but now my phone doesn’t work. Does the system only allow one phone connection at a time? Is there some way I can connect my phone also (and also my son’s phone) so that we can choose a simple phone connection when we jump in the car?
Thanks
Ian
